A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate that has an integrated circuit and an electrode electrically connected to the integrated circuit; a first resin layer that is formed in a first region overlapping the integrated circuit over a surface of the semiconductor substrate where the electrode is formed; a wiring that is electrically connected to the electrode and is formed on the first resin layer; and a second resin layer that is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate in a second region surrounding the first region, is the second resin layer being spaced a distance from the first resin layer.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor substrate that has an integrated circuit and an electrode electrically connected to the integrated circuit; a first resin layer that is formed in a first region overlapping the integrated circuit over a surface of the semiconductor substrate where the electrode is formed; a wiring that is electrically connected to the electrode and is formed on the first resin layer; and a second resin layer that is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate in a second region surrounding the first region, the second resin layer being spaced a distance from the first resin layer, and being disposed continuously over the entire second region, wherein the wiring covers the first resin layer and the second resin layer.
2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the second resin layer is formed lower than the first resin layer.
3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the second resin layer is disposed in a manner to contact a periphery of the surface of the semiconductor substrate where the electrode is formed.
4. The semiconductor device according to claim 3 , wherein the periphery of the surface of the semiconductor substrate where the electrode is formed is in a rectangular shape, and the second resin layer is disposed at least at corner sections of the rectangular shape.
5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the wiring is formed such that the wiring extends from the electrode, over the first resin layer, and reaches the top surface of the second resin layer.
6. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the wiring entirely covers the first resin layer and the second resin layer when viewed in cross-section.
